Written by Kristy Snell, Janice Tripepi and Anel Potgeiter battle it out for the Dinner Diva title over three rounds of cooking challenges.
In the first of the three rounds the Diva’s are presented with a mystery basket of everyday ingredients and have to come up with a weekday family meal in 45 minutes.
Two of the contestants prepare meatballs and this does not go down well with one judge in particular while the third battles to produce a meal without the ingredients she usually uses for her preferred style of cooking.
Gourmet Guys editor Andrew Lieber is not particularly impressed,
I’m just thinking its the finals of the competition and I got meatballs.
Two of the contestants plate up with meatballs, judge Andrew Lieber is not impressed.
The Divas come face to face with the judges for the first time in the competition and this adds a brand new dynamic to the show ensuring that the tension and confrontation levels are raised considerably in the kitchen as they will for the very first time have to listen to their food being critiqued.
The judges comments are the most direct they have ever been and not all of the divas are prepared to simply sit back and take it like a trainee chef, they fight back!
I’m not to keen with that around my dinner table, don’t criticise my food.
The Dinner Divas come face to face with judges Andrew Lieber, Aubrey Ngcungama and Caro de Waal for the first time.
For this round the judges, Aubrey Ngcungama, Caro de Waal and Andrew Lieber are scoring the bloggers on the taste and execution of the meal, including the presentation, staying true to the blogs voice and how well the ingredients are chosen.
They also need to consider the blog and whether or not it could be monetised, it’s sincerity & honesty, then finally the possibility of securing a book deal.
The same three judges will be judging all three of the final rounds.
